Nadine's Tip of the Day

Learning Lessons: It is very important to be open to life-long learning. When you stop or lose interest in learning, you kill your progress and diminish your chance for success and reaching your full God-given potential. You will make mistakes and regrettable decisions along the way, but they are teachable/learnable moments in your growth and overall success. Seek out mentors (experts in your area of interest who can help guide you and help you navigate road blocks along the way). Don't expect them to give you all the answers because they won't have all the answers--they are still learning as well. But their experiences (mistakes, triumphs, and people they've met along their journey) will be very helpful to you. And then, once you've achieved your dream(s), you can then be a mentor to someone else--and watch your blessings multiply! --Hair Doc

Diversity in our salon

Today there is a growing need for salons to be able to service all textures of hair. Wouldn't you rather go to a salon that specializes in all textures of hair or would you like to continue to go to different salons for every member of your family? This is a concern that needs to be changed, largely because of the growing bi-racial relationships. Others may start making the change because the money is greener and they NEED to feed their families and pay their bills! We know that people today seek convenience, but more importantly, they really want service. Knowledge is the key to tapping into this clientele and giving them the best hair cut, the best color, and also the best texture! Tap in and make the change. Don't just go for the green without the knowledge and the skills that you have copied from someone else, who copied from someone else, etc.  -"Hair Doc"

It's Not a Black Thing, It's a Hair Thing

To professonal hair stylists and students: Have you consciously chosen to work ( currently working) in an all-white, all-black, all-asian etc. salon, or a salon whose environment reflects solely your particular ethnicity, race and/or culture? Are all your clients a reflection of your own ethnicity/race? Are you afraid to engage and cultivate a multicultural clientele? I'd love to hear your story and your reasoning if you're willing to share. Being a product of our environment or upbringing does not have to pigeon-hole and limit our capacity to broaden our perspectives. People truly are people, just as "hair is hair," no matter whose head it rests on. What you've experienced can be a timely and valuable lesson for someone else. -"Hair Doc"
